Angio is done!

Today Kasi's angiogram was finally done.  We are very excited about this because this is a sign of the turn around for her.  She is still lying flat and only has 1 or 2 more hours to do so.  She is kind of excited to have it over too.  Relief today came in two great things.  First, her surgical sight looks great inside of her!  There are still small narrowing to her belly and there is a narrowing just past her surgical sight, but it is looking great!  The narrowing is so small compared to the one that she had before it shouldn't bother her at all.  Over all we are really happy with the news.  We are not sure what Dr. Stanley's opinion is on it yet.  I am sure he will be happy with the patch though. 
Second, we were told that at 9:00 tonight Kasi will be able to start some clear liquids.  She is going to start with some water and having about three swallows every 15 mins.  If that goes well, she might even have some apple juice before bed.  How exciting!  We are not going to push it though because it is night time and we both want to sleep.  No room for feeling sick or being sick for that matter.  We are praying that doesn't happen, and being smart helps.
What a great day of progress today.  We are looking up and praising God for taking care of Kasi through everything today.  She is doing amazing.  She doesn't have any pain from the procedure, but her back hurts from lying flat.  That we can handle!  When the doctor came to talk to us after her procedure he said, "oh, by the way, Kasi says 'Hi'."  Too funny!  She was already awake ready to go. 
It is time to tend to her once again, I just wanted to tell all the praises of the day!
Thank you for taking time to pray!

  1. Awesome news! Hopefully today you have 3 good things. 2 down, one to go...with the clear liquids staying down and no nausea. It scared me a little when I saw "swallows". "Sips" sounds a lot better to me for some reason...
